Keely Givhan of Beloit, Wisconsin has learned a serious lesson - the hard way.

Givhan recently spent 6 days in jail because she failed to return her library books and her family couldn't afford to pay the fine. The library director says that their policy is to send three notices and after that a citation can be issued. And in this case it was.

While the library was sending her the notices, Givhan was in the process of moving. She says she didn't receive the notices. Since she didn't show up for her court date regarding the library fines, a warrant was issued for her arrest.

So later, Givhan was pulled over by a traffic cop and it was discovered that she had this outstanding warrant and she was taken to jail.

Remember to return your library books on time! These librarians are very serious about it.
